This acclaimed new work is a wildly imaginative, visually voluptuous, phantasmagoric journey through post-Soviet Russia—the fever dream of a married mechanic and comic book artist saddled with influenza.
Russia/France/Germany/Switzerland, 2021, Kirill Serebrennikov
Leading Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov (The Student, Leto, the upcoming Tchaikovsky’s Wife) has run afoul of Putin’s regime by criticizing both the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Ukraine. But he’s still making movies. Unfortunately, there’s no vaccine for spiritual emptiness and societal malaise. “Critic’s Pick…Paints a bleak, wistful, tragically funny portrait of a man, a people, a world.” –NY Times. Cleveland premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 145 min. Special admission $12; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $9. No passes. https://strandreleasing.com/films/petrovs-flu/
